    Peace

    I always wondered why the quran never had anything regarding love relationships...

    There are characteristics or qualities of love expressed, such as being merciful, patient, forgiving ... but love directly is never addressed... Can anyone weigh in on that?

      All of those qualities are part of love I guess.
      But love we are talking about is an emotion.

        If love was a decision, wouldn't we all be there??

        peace Tay, lol, yeah, good point! It takes two to tango. How about only one person's decision to fall in love? is it a decision, firstly? hmmm~

        You "search" for a partner. Love "graps" you.

        Elke, it definitely sounds DANGEROUS ! ;D

        That's the beauty of love, i guess, mysterious.. it's like, do first then you know..ehehe

        onepath, abuja, so it is a decision, right? since, "Love is a process as is marriage.", so if we are aware of the process, can we stop it? or maintain the process? D hohoho

          peace phonix,

          There you go astray D

          you are trying to define. you want to have knowledge of love. you can read all the books of library about love and have knowledge about it. BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW IT. you believe us. you believe it. BUT YOU CAN NOT KNOW IT.
          It belong to the dimension of undefineables.

          KNOWING COMES FROM EXPERIENCE and not from knowledge!

          Love as opposed to hate is that of EGO. It belongs to the workd of duality.

          Love as divine passion arises when self-interest falls and there is interest without cause!

          Keep looking at a beautiful flower regularly for a long time! One day you will see that you are in love! as Samia said , It graps you!

          we will talk more!

          peace,

            Peace all,

            But what is beauty, it's in the observers eyes, right!?

            And what one find is beautiful another one don't, it's a matter of taste.

            There is a spouse for all, because we have so different kind of taste and that's amazing with us humans.

            And we should remind us that love starts with attractions and in this first stage it's not pure love but rather a lust and or a temptations for more.

            How many times I haven't found out that a nice looking guy is a big jerk, so it's not all about beauty but a mixture of different ingredients to form a solid LOVE.

            Peace Maria

              Yes sis, and also depends on which EYE that you are using!! Each eye has its own function!

                peace be upon you Alpha

                There you go astray

                Yeah, that happens a lot. '(

                KNOWING COMES FROM EXPERIENCE and not from knowledge!

                Agree.

                Love as opposed to hate is that of EGO. It belongs to the workd of duality.

                Love as divine passion arises when self-interest falls and there is interest without cause!

                But can't love be defined as an emotion?
                like we love something or someone which is bad for us. That's not healthy, is it?
                Love, as in the absense of ego, I have experienced.
                But, I don't know. I'm confused! -
                peace

                  My two cents Love is not an emotion, but it is something you experience with the emotions.

                      I've heard of love being acceptance and something unconditional. That is, not placing conditions on how someone can have it. It makes sense to me. So I'd say it is something you do decide to do.

                        Peace Joe, all,

                        In my experience, love of family/friends and love of one's spouse/future--spouse is the same thing with the obvious addition of physical attraction. In both cases, love is fueled by compassion and/or passion. When someone I love is in pain, then I am in pain. This is not a decision and it is truly unconditional. And this is far different from emotion because any emotion can be turned off with the right channeling of focus. But love cannot be ignored nor turned off nor turned on. Once you've tapped into it, it's always there.

                        Peace,
                        Tay

                          lol ahahah hi phoenix.

                          I think love is a state, and i think it is the state of the universe. I think that that state is acceptance and allowance and appreciation, think about it, if the universe did not accept any of your choices then you would not exist nor would anyone else, for the seed cant flower with a foot atop its entrance.

                          There fore it is a state of being and not an emotion, but like all things, it is realized when experienced through the emotions. Being in the state of love then 'sets you up' to reception and connection with the universe, it is like installing satellite internet phoenix. D

                          I think that it starts with the mind, because the mind is like the cell wall surrounding our cells; it regulates what enters and leaves the cell, our mind regulates what enters and leaves our heart, if we are to caught up in lesser pursuits then of a sure it will be hinder our development of a blossoming heart.

                          And then when comes relationships of interaction, with family, friend and lover, those connections with those individuals become stronger. It is really it, think about what is symbolizeed when you are born here, the umbilical cord, your connection to your source of life(your mother)is severed at birth, thats the fall and connecting is the return.

                          peace,
                          Khalil

                            hmmm...now this does help. I need to think about this and put this in terms that I understand, connect what you have said to what I know I know.

                            peace!

                                I don't hear it as much as I feel it. It still great, though.
                                I'll go play Tetris with my thoughts now,

                                  Okay, I tried to resist before but no more I say.

                                  Falling in love is hard on the knees...

                                  What is love? Baby, don't hurt me!

                                  Love is only a feeling, drifting away...

                                  Love's a game of easy come and easy go...

                                  Love bites, love bleeds, love lives, love dies, love begs, love pleads...
                                  D I just saw this post and the first thing that came to my mind was this song by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge;

                                  Ewan
                                  Love is a many splendored thing
                                  Love lifts us up where we belong
                                  All you need is love
                                  Nicole
                                  Please don't start that again
                                  Ewan
                                  All you need is love
                                  Nicole
                                  A girl has got to eat
                                  Ewan
                                  All you need is love
                                  Nicole
                                  She'll end up on the street
                                  Nicole
                                  Uhh
                                  Ewan
                                  All you need is love
                                  Nicole
                                  Love is just a game...

                                    Hey sister go...sister go...yuck.

                                        Hi Zein,

                                        I saw that movie (the one with Bruce Willis) from which your avatar is taken...To be honest, I did not understand the story (Abrar must be right about the IQ thing!)...Is this character in your avatar the same charatcter that appears later on in the movie with a face change?
